rafe finds your panties in his car [smut, jerking off, perv!rafe]

part two

you had an appointment to get your nails done, rafe was at an important business meeting and couldn't take you, since a friend of his was picking him up his car was in the garage, you asked him if you could use his car, and he said yes.

as you get back you parked the car in the garage, turned off the car while picked up the things you had left scattered around the car, putting them back in the bag, and that's where you had an idea.

you thought, rafe had let you use his car by paying for your new set of nails, you had to somehow thank him. a grin grew on your face as you rose slightly from the seat, your hands went under your skirt finding the elastic band of your panties, you grabbed it pushing it down and once you got to your ankles you pulled them completely off. your grin grew even more as you put the lace panties on the gearshift.

after completing your little work of art, you grabbed your purse and keys, opened the door and got out of the car, locking it. you made your way inside the house, the sound of your heels walking on the floor caught his attention.

"hey baby" he greeted you with a smile, getting up from the couch, "rafeyy" you said immediately running into his arms, he pulled you toward him grabbing you by the hips, 4 hours without seeing him was too much for your liking. "how did it go?" he asked with a smile at your clinginess as his hand gently stroked your back, "all good" you replied pulling away from him slightly with a smile, showing him your nails.

"they're perfect baby" he said as he looked at them carefully, he knew you didn’t play about your nails, "i know, aren't they?" you said with a smile turning your hand toward you, looking back at the design for the twentieth time.

you slipped your hand into your jacket pocket pulling out his car keys, "here they are" you said shaking them in front of his face, he grabbed them as you said "thank you so much baby, i love you" you said giving him a kiss, he smiled into the kiss as he whispered "i love you too".

as he deepened the kiss in your head you couldn't help but think of the little surprise you had left for him in the car, just waiting for him to find out. you knew very well that he loved your lingerie, one way or another he was always trying to steal some panties from you so he could keep them when, as he said, “he needed them," and you also knew what for.

the next morning rafe woke up early, he had to attend another business meeting. it was a stressful week, he was full of commitments regarding work finding himself having little time to spend with you. he grabbed the keys of his car as he yawned while heading to the garage, the phone rang in his pocket causing him to sigh as he rolled his eyes, he took it in his hands reading the name of the contact who was calling him, he sighed again deciding to answer it, it was one of the men he was in business with.

"hey, what's up?" said rafe trying to sound as unbothered as possible, the last thing he wanted to do right now was to have a call regarding the various problems that kept coming up. as the man took up the conversation, explaining that business would slow down for reasons he would list for him later, rafe opened the garage door, letting out occasionals little "mhm."

he pulled out his car keys, pressed the button and without looking inside the car opened the door and sat down. "yes, i was aware of that, i just talked to hollis about it yesterday and we both agreed that..." he froze when out of the corner of his eye he saw something white that caught his attention, he shifted his eyes to the mysterious object.

he took a deep breath realizing it was your underwear.

“rafe? are you still there?" the man's voice rang on the other side of the phone, rafe took a few more seconds to look at the piece of underwear and then answered, "y-yeah i'm here sorry, actually i'm kinda busy right now, i'm gonna call you when i'm free" he quickly came up with, wanting to end the call as soon as possible.

"oka-"

before the man could’ve finished rafe immediately hang up. his hands reached out to grab the garment, his fingers rubbed the lace. he looked at the inner part, that was in contact with your pussy, noticing a small wet spot, he didn't think about it for a second and brought the panty closer to his face, his nose made contact with the fabric, inhaling strongly as your smell flooded his nostrils. you just knew how to drive him crazy.

he couldn't help but think about being between your legs as he continued to breathe in your scent, making you feel good as your hands pushed him closer to your pussy, his cock twitching at the thought of having his lips on your wet folds.

as he kept the panties close to his face, with his free hand he quickly untied his belt, unbuttoned his pants pushing them down just enough along with his underwear to get his now semi-hard cock out. his head thought of your sweet taste, your little whimpers when he overstimulated you too much as your smell intoxicated his brain.

with his right hand he began to lightly rub his length, little sounds escaped his lips, muffled by the fabric of your panties. he went further as with his thumb he stroked the tip, pink and swollen, screaming to be inside you, his hand tightened even more around his shaft quickly rubbing the part just below the tip, it drove him crazy.

he kept rubbing as he imagined his hand was yours, little drops of pre cum were coming out of his tip, mixing with his rapidly working hands, creating obscene wet sounds.

his wrist beginning to ache, from how fast he was moving, as he lingered for a few seconds with his thumb, rubbing the tip. he was a mess of moans, his legs twitching as his breathing grew deeper and deeper, his body temperature now crazy.

he moved your panties away from his face and wrapped them around his cock as he resumed rubbing his hard cock with his hand, continuous whimpers escaped his lips as the lace rubbed against the delicate veins of his cock.

"fuuuuck" he breathed, he didn't think he could hold back much longer. he pushed his hips upward as his hand worked up and down his length, his head turned back as continuous moans mixed with cursing escaped his lips.

"h-holy shiit..." he murmured through clenched teeth, the rough fabric of the lace touching the soft tip of his cock made him shudder, his cock throbbing in his hands, eager to cum as soon as possible.

he was in pure ectasy, totally overwhelmed by the pleasure he was experiencing, the only image in his head at that moment was you, and you were helping him finish himself off. "oh y/n please..." he said almost crying, his voice cracked with pleasure as his hand moved even faster down the length, he hadn't even realized he had begged you when you weren't even there.

as his hand tightened around the tip, images of you filled his head, thinking about the way your eyes looked at him every time he thrust into you mercilessly, the way your tits bounced as his body slammed into yours, as his hand grabbed your neck making your eyes roll as he pushed you to the edge, that image was enough to make his cock cum.

"oh fuck me...." he managed to say as his hand moved slower, riding his high, moans and whining came from his lips as he pressed the tip making sure not a drop of his liquid was wasted.

half of it was on his hands, but most of it had ended up on your panties. he let go his grip on his cock, feeling overstimulated as he tried to catch his breath. realization hit him soon after, realizing the 'obscenity of the act he had just performed.

did he regret it? no. had it been one of the best handjobs? yes.

a deals a deal II l.williamson

"where'd you find this place?" you smiled in awe as you followed leah into the arcade, the blonde not missing the ways your eyes had lit up the moment the two of you had even parked outside, exactly the reaction she'd hoped for.

it having been your girlfriends turn to organize date night leah reveled in the fact that it was already seeming to be a success before it officially started, and you had to admit the older girl knew you like the back of her hand with this choice.

with both of you working full time, leah as a footballer and you as a primary teacher you both made a commitment early on, the moment things started getting serious, that despite your hectic schedules you'd still make every effort to keep consistent with spending quality time outside of work together.

and so the weekly date nights came into effect.

they weren't always big significant events nor did they always mean the two of you left your shared home, the key takeaway was quality time and so long as the two of you were focused on one another then that was guaranteed.

"lotte put me onto it, tao brought her here on one of their first dates." leah admitted as you gasped sarcastically. "and you're not even taking the credit? oh baby i'm so proud of you!" you cooed mockingly, pinching her cheeks as the taller girl shoved you playfully, the two of you making your way to the counter.

"i'll be taking credit for all the games i'm about to smash you at my girl, don't you worry your pretty little head about that." leah smiled smugly as you rolled your eyes and she hooked you both up with a large bag of tokens, even further fueling your excitement at the fact they still ran their games the old school way, physical tickets printed and all.

"oh my love me and my pretty little head cannot wait to watch you eat your words!" you grinned in response to her call out, and given neither of you liked to lose and were incredibly competitive, it was sure to be an interesting night.

there was a reason the two of you stopped getting invites to game night with leahs family, both of you banned until you learned how to behave like well mannered young women and not hotheaded impatient numpties, in the words of her grandmother.

"well either way you can consider tonight endless tokens, if you can spend them then i will buy them gorgeous." leah promised, pecking your lips sweetly with a charming smile and offering for you to pick the first game.

"mm good question babe. what do i want to beat you at first?" you pondered, stroking your chin as leah sighed dramatically at the time you were taking, tapping her foot and shoving her hands into the pocket of her jacket with a bored look written into her features.

"oh come on!" leah groaned impatiently as you pivoted away from yet another game, amused smirk on your features as you finally stopped and nodded happily.

"basketball. lets start off simple!" you decided, grabbing your girlfriends hand and dragging her over toward the game, the blonde hurrying to yank you back as a gang of young boys sprinted past almost smashing into you, leah looking after them with a deep seeded scowl.

"hey lee, need i remind you this place is actually designed for kids baby, relax." you smiled poking at her cheeks as she huffed air out of her nose but focused her attention back on you, both of you slipping tokens into your sides as the game lit up and a strong american accent yelled out the rules.

"ready...set....go!" leah counted down as the buzzer sounded, both of you scrambling to grab the balls, zoned in on your own rings as the points started to rack up for both of you.

leah snuck a quick glance to your side, bright eyes widening in shock seeing you were in the lead and by quite a significant amount. and just as you said neither of you liked to lose, which is what lead to her next move.

"oi!" you gasped as the defender leaned over and knocked the ball out of your hand, shooting with her other, doing it again and again as you reached for the basketballs.

"leah!" you laughed at her blunt competitiveness, shoving her as the final buzzer for the game sounded and the blonde cheered victoriously, pumping her fist and doing a victory wiggle having just beat you by two points.

"you are such a cheat and a shit loser." you shook your head as leah continued her victory dance, snatching her tickets from the machine and shoving them into her pocket.

"nah i'm not, cause i didn't lose." she booped you on the nose with a token as you smacked her shoulder. "right well if you want to carry on like that. would you care to make this interesting then williamson?" you challenged, crossing your arms over your chest.

"mm perhaps, what do you have in mind for a wager pretty girl?" leah raised an eyebrow curiously, cocky smirk still curled into her features.

"if i win, you do all the dishes and the laundry for a month." you stated, leahs jaw dropping and your smile widening knowing she detested the two tasks and would often offer you anything in return for not having to do them.

"a month!? nah two weeks mate max." "aw, are you that scared you'll lose baby?" "i am not! fine, a month then."

"but if i win... then you have to do that thing i've been asking you to since christmas, with my special gift." leah cocked her head to the side, storm blue eyes roaming over your body hungrily as you frowned a little in confusion before it clicked just exactly what she was after.

both half jokingly and half seriously the blonde had gifted you a very ill fitting maids costume for christmas, stating as part of your gift to her you should spend the day wearing it, claiming it would be great motivation for her to join you in doing the housework.

you only laughed and put it away, teasing that not even that would get her to pick up a dirty dish.

but every now and then leah would find it in the back of the wardrobe and the begging would start for you to live out what was clearly a fantasy for the taller girl, and each time you'd just teasingly shake your head in amusement and depart the room with a kiss, leaving her without a real answer.

"fine, a deal's a deal." you shrugged in agreement which was clearly to your girlfriends surprise as her eyebrows shot up in shock and you extended your hand, wiggling your fingers eagerly.

"brilliant. a deals a deal." the blonde echoed as she shook your hand but not before using it to pull your body into hers, stealing a kiss and nipping at your bottom lip, pulling away with a cheeky grin as your head spun and your cheeks flushed pink.

"right, my turn to pick then. and unlike some i won't take an hour to decide!"

~

"how in the hell do you even do this? its got no bloody control!" leah huffed, the two of you sat on motorbikes as you raced around the track on the screens in front of you, the girl beside you far from getting the hang of it despite it being the second time you'd raced, leah demanding a rematch after crashing her bike and earning a loss.

"like this, winner!" you cheered loudly, pumping your fists in the air as you zoomed across the finish line sitting back smugly as leahs eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown and she smacked at the handle bars in annoyance.

"loser." you pointed to her now with a wink as she flipped you off, rings glinting in the bright neon lights above.

"maybe i should get a motorbike." you teased, turning your body as leah jumped off the bike, appearing instantly in between your legs as you stayed sitting side sadle. "over my dead body, maybe focus on learning how to drive a car first babe." leah teased making you roll your eyes, her hands settling on your thighs and squeezing them with a grin.

"i'm a great driver thank you very much." "mmm but those handful of fines in your glovebox say differently baby girl." "those are parking fines leah, not driving offences." "oh i'm so sorry. correction then not only are you a shit driver but you're an appalling parker as well, can't even be trusted when the car is stationary!" leah tutted with a dissapointed shake of her head as you punched her in the shoulder and scoffed.

"sorry let me just get a score check, whose winning?" you asked, cupping a hand over your ear and leaning toward leah whose smile dropped.

"shut up." she mumbled with a small pout as you slid off the motorbike, the two of you wandering around for a moment as leah took her time choosing.

"perfect!" the taller girl grinned spotting a football shootout game in the back corner. "and how many goals do defenders normally score?" you hummed, pretending to be lost in thought as leah slotted in some tokens and rolled her eyes.

"don't be bitter that they don't have a teaching game babe, times tables aren't exactly something kids do in their time off for fun!" leah pouted sarcastically at your chosen career, you now the one to flip her off and gesture for her to start.

"right go on then superstar, dazzle me."

you had to hide your smile behind your hand as leah missed more kicks than she scored, the game clearly designed for a child with much less leg power as every ball sailed up and over the goal.

you watched as her shots became sloppier the more wound up and angry she got, only fueling her to continue to miss time and time again. "nah this is bullshit that's rigged!" leah scowled, kicking at the machine once her turn was over and grumbling under her breath.

"leah!" you scolded, moving her away from causing actual damage as she wound up for another kick.

"hey. breathe for me please, it's just a stupid arcade game, you're still a champion of europe baby. nothing takes that away!" you grabbed at her face, placing a soft kiss to her lips and feeling her body relax somewhat.

"...its just a good thing they didn't need you for any penalties because those attempts? massive yikes." "oi thats a red card for you my girl, absolutely uncalled for!"

~

"right, this ones the final game." leah glanced at the time and announced with a clap, the two of you so caught up you'd not even realized the time and how long you'd been here.

"oh how convenient, we're tied." you rolled your eyes, not believing that the 'score card' leah had been in charge of was really all that accurate, having been typed up in notes on her phone.

"and what is that supposed to mean?" "i'm accusing you of score tampering, williamson." "no idea what on earth you're on about love, i'll even be so kind as to forfeit my turn so that you choose our last game." "wow, and they say chivalry is dead?"

"mmm that one." you nodded to a shooting game in the corner you'd not yet tried, leah humming in agreement as you made your way over. "was that your stomach?" you asked in disbelief hearing a loud gurgle.

"yes! i'm fucking starving." leah moped with a huff, earning herself an unimpressed look from a mother standing at the next game with her two young kids, you smacking leah lightly and mumbling about her language.

"sorry miss." your girlfriend teased with a cocky smile as you rolled your eyes and gestured for her to take her turn. the gunner shot down 8 tin ducks out of 12 and shrugged, seemingly happy with her efforts.

"beat that, four eyes." leah smirked, flicking at your ear as you smacked away her hands and shot her a dirty look.

you only wore your glasses when you were using your laptop, reading or occasionally when teaching, and as much as leah found you utterly adorable in them the english captain also would never miss an opportunity to rib you about your poor eyesight.

"happily, noodle legs." you quipped back with a smile, grabbing the gun as leah mocked you under her breath and ordered for you to hurry up as her stomach rumbled again.

closing one eye you balanced the toy gun on your arm as the game commenced, shooting down six ducks with ease, a few more to go and you'd win still with plenty of time left to do so.

however as you placed your finger on the trigger, the timer counting down from ten, a set of hands wrapped themselves around your waist, one hand in particular slipping up the inside of your top and harshly squeezing at one of your boobs.

in shock at the unexpected touch you squeezed the trigger and dropped the toy gun, missing the ducks by a mile as the timer went off and leah's hands suddenly disappeared, your skin burning where they'd once been.

"oh that is so not fair! you. are. a. dirty. dirty. dirty. dirty. dirty. little cheat." you protested with a growl, turning on your heel to glare towards a smug looking leah, poking at her chest angrily with each word.

"i simply do not know what you're talking about gorgeous, i guess your aim was just off. and that is not my fault!" the blonde simply smiled cockily, knowing she'd now won.

though sensing your rapidly growing annoyance leah reached for your hand, pulling your body into hers and stepping the two of you in between two pinball machines, briefly tucked away from sight.

"leah catherine williamson you are an unbearably bad loser, a big child, bad mannered, short tempered and-" not even giving you the time to finish your sentence the taller girl cut you off by bringing your lips together, pressing your body against the arcade wall.

leahs hands settled themselves on your hips tucked away under her jacket you'd stolen from her earlier in the night, the defender slowly swiping her tongue against your bottom lip, taking control of the kiss as your arms wrapped around the back of her neck, tangling themselves in her recently chopped short blonde locks.

though before the two of you got any further carried away someone winning a game meant a loud siren went off behind you, the two of you jumping away from one another in shock at the abrupt noise of the machines, sharing a look before breaking out into soft laughter.

"come on hangry, lets go get you some food then." you smiled with a sigh as leahs stomach rumbled yet again, previous annoyance melting away as it always did when it came to the mischievous footballer you were head over heels for.

"no i think we should head home, i'm hungry for something else now." leah murmered quietly, thumb stroking your jaw, lips curling into a smug smile at how your cheeks flushed scarlet at her suggestive tone.

"plus i think you're due for a little outfit change baby girl. a deal's a deal and you're nothing short of a woman of your word, right?"

Treat you Better - Auston Matthews x Reader

Auston sees how Kasp treats you & thinks (and eventually proves ;)) that he can treat you better.

Totally made Kasperi a douche in this - sorry Kasp fans. Also, obvi set when they were both on the Leafs!

Two months, you've been keeping track - but of course would never tell Kasperi (you can imagine it now: "Why do I care how long we've been talking? It's not like we're dating, Y/N"). Two months of being a second choice. No chance of commitment anywhere in sight. But you stay, because Kas is charming and good-looking. You convince yourself maybe he'll change, maybe he just isn't ready for commitment right now. Of course he's not just messing with you - he wouldn't do that.

He invited you to his game. You thought maybe this was a sign that he truly cared for you. Would he invite you to watch him if he didn't actually like you? Or did he just want one more Kapanen fan in the building? You push that second thought out of your head as quick as it comes.

Well, obviously he would just invite people to invite people, because here you sit watching him chat up two blonde girls who are very giddy to be graced by Kasperi Kapanen's presence.

The game was nerve-racking, ending with a 5-4 Leaf's win. You were excited to wait outside of the Leaf's locker room. You felt like a true NHL girlfriend. Well, you did, until Kas passed you with a nod (what am I, some fan waiting for a high-five?!) and headed straight for the two pretty girls also standing outside the lockeroom, clearly waiting for any NHL player to pay attention to them - hell, maybe even a gear manager if they were wearing a Leaf's shirt.

So, here you sit, waiting for Kasperi to decide that the girl he invited to watch him play - the one who dutifully cheered for every good play of his and only secretly cheered for one of the other good-looking men in blue - was worth his attention after all. You had even denied a ride home from your friends because "I'll just ride home with Kas". How stupid you felt now...

Kasperi is always a good time when you hang out. He's funny and charming. But this is your first time being in public with him - or, rather, in public watching him act like you're not with him.

You're growing angrier and angrier as Kas makes these girls giggle. Luckily, a good-looking distraction with wet hair steps out of the lockeroom. He looks set on leaving the building ASAP, until he locks eyes with you.

"Hey," he says with a smile, approaching you. You scan his face and sense that he's wondering who you are - why you're waiting. Which player you belong to, you think sourly.

"Hi" you smile politely. There's a pause, so you introduce yourself. "I'm Y/N".

"Y/N," he repeats, "I'm Auston." He sticks his hand out for a shake.

"I know" you giggle, shaking his hand. A dagger of a thought (so Kasperi hasn't mentioned you... ouch) flashes in your mind, but you try to ignore it for now.

"What ya doin out here?" he asks, nodding to the emptying hallway.

"Oh.. Kasperi invited me" you say, moving your gaze over to him. A third girl has joined his audience.

Auston looks over and sees the same thing you do. He nods slowly and moves his attention back to you.

"Gotcha... he doesn't know how to treat a guest does he?" he laughs awkwardly.

"No, it looks like he's pretty good at it" you say, smiling pityingly, nodding towards his group of female fans.

After watching for a second, Auston yells, "Kasp!" he pauses as Kasperi snaps his head in your guys' direction. "You done?"

You're a bit embarrassed, but grateful that you didn't have to be the one to break him from his conversation. Kasperi's eyes switch between you and Auston. Without saying anything, he walks towards the two of you, like a kid in trouble.

"Now I am" he says to Auston, before putting an arm around your shoulders and heading towards the door.

You look back and send Auston a smile. He smiles back with a small wave.

"You played good", you say to Kas, hoping to pretend whatever just happened for the last 20 minutes didn't actually happen.

"Yeah, thanks. Thanks for coming", he says as you both walk towards his car.

The car ride is awkward. Or, maybe, you imagine it as awkward. Kas seems just fine.

He takes you back to his place, as he always does. You sit on his couch, as you always do. The two of you haven't gotten any more intimate than a few kisses - you were adamant that you wanted to wait. He was similarly adamant that he didn't want to. Either way, you both sit on the couch, watching some movie that he picked. He didn't try anything more than an arm around your shoulders for the whole night. Instead, actually, you felt like he was just waiting for you to leave. Does he have other plans for the night?

"Do you want me to come to your next game?" you ask.

"Yeah, sure, if you want to come." he says, not taking his eyes from the TV.

God, this night was painful. But, you told yourself, maybe it would get better.

--

This game-day will definitely end better. The last game fiasco is behind you. You even asked to wear his jersey - and he let you! That has to mean something.

Here you wait, again, outside of the lockeroom. They lost this time - 2-5. Despite the score, you are proud to be sporting "Kapanen" on your back.

Auston steps out of the lockeroom before Kasperi. He locks eyes with you, once again, and smiles.

"Hey, Y/N" he says, approaching you.

"Hi. You played good tonight", you say, returning his smile.

"Not good enough, though", he laughs lightly, pitifully.

Before you can respond, Kas walks out of the lockeroom. This time, he walks straight to you - not past you. Progress!

Auston moves aside so Kasp can join the conversation - and though you would never say it, you preferred the one-on-one with Auston.

"See ya got her to wear your jersey", Auston says to Kasperi with a smile.

"She asked," he says, putting an arm around you. "Dirtied it up just for us to lose". Your smile drops (did he not want me to wear it??). This doesn't go over Auston's head, though it definitely misses Kasperi.

"You can dirty up my jerseys anytime, Y/N", Auston says lightly, giving you a smile. Kasperi laughs and leads you out the door. Again, you shoot a smile to Auston as you leave. How is it that Auston's on your side more often than Kasperi is?

--

Third home game. You've decided this is his last chance. His games are the only times you go out in public together - otherwise, you're just hanging out at his house. He is always so fun to be around in private. But once he gets in public, it feels like his facade drops. So, third try. Third home game.

They win this time, 4-1. You had washed and returned Kasp's jersey after his comment last time. Standing outside the locker room, you wait. Kasperi comes out before Auston this time (am I waiting for Auston? Why was I disappointed when it was Kasp and not Auston?).

"The guys are going for drinks, I'm gonna go with 'em" he says casually.

You don't know what to say, so you just look at him for a second to see if he's serious. Where were you supposed to go? He should have said something earlier so you wouldn't have waited out here for him. Before you can put any of these thoughts into words, Auston steps out of the lockeroom. He catches Kasp's next words.

"I can call you an uber if you don't have a ride or something." Was this his attempt at kindness?

"Kasp.." you say, exasperatingly.

Auston interjects. "I can drive you home." he says looking between you and Kasperi.

"You don't have to do that, man", Kasperi speaks for you. This leaves you even more shocked.

Auston ignores him, eyes still on you.

"I'd really appreciate that", you say, looking back at him.

"See, Kasp, it's taken care of. Have fun, man", Auston says, slightly stepping between you and Kasperi.

"Alright", Kasperi says, clearly not interested enough to say anything more. "See you guys", he says before turning around and heading for the door.

"Thank you, Auston. I really appreciate it", you say, nervously, embarrassed that you even came here with Kasperi.

"I don't mind. I'm not putting you in an uber", he laughs.

You laugh with him at the absurdity.

You both head for the door. Walking next to him, you can really appreciate how large he is. You blush at the whole situation.

He points at a Porche sitting in the parking garage, shining in all of its' luxury, "That's me", he says, unlocking it.

"Fancy", you giggle as he opens the passenger door for you.

He laughs and shuts your door, tossing his gear in the backseat before getting in on his own side.

The car ride is filled with comfortable silence, the radio playing quietly, only interrupted by your directions.

"Really, thank you for taking me home, Auston", you say, glancing at him.

He looks at you for a second before returning his eyes to the road. "I really don't mind. It's nice to see you somewhere outside of a dark hallway, anyways", he says.

"Yeah, you won't see me there again", you say, still embarrassed by Kasperi. So much for a third chance.

"Or, y'know, next time you'll be wearing a 34", he says. You laugh.

"Wouldn't wanna dirty up one of your jerseys" you giggle, referring to Kasperi's odd comment.

"God, he's a douche, isn't he. I'm sorry", Auston says.

"Just glad I had my knight in shining armor there to save me," you joke.

"That's what I'm here for", he laughs.

He pulls up to your building. "Want me to walk you up?" he asks.

"It's okay," you answer, "I have mace" you joke.

At this, he scoffs jokingly and turns the car off before getting out. You do the same, walking to your building with Auston behind you. You climb the stairs and stop in front of your door.

"Thank you, Auston". You say, locking eyes with him.

"Of course, Y/N." he smiles.

"Can I get your number, just to make sure you make it home safe?" you say.

He pulls out his phone and adds your number, giving you his.

"Have a good night, Y/N".

"You too," you smile, unlocking the door. He heads back down to his car.

A much better ending to game night.

--

The next morning you wake to the doorbell ringing. In your shock at the unannounced guest, you climb out of bed and check out the peephole. Through it, you see a delivery driver setting down a large bag.

You wait for him to walk away before you open the door to check out this mysterious delivery. Setting it on the counter, you open it carefully.

In it is a container holding a huge breakfast - pancakes, bacon, and fruit. Under the container, a Maple Leafs jersey - number 34. Matthews written on the back. You smile big at this.

You grab your phone to send him a text.

"Auston!!" you say, sending a picture of the gift.

"For the next game ;)", he writes.

Sophie Hey, I just got your message Are you okay? Y/N Don’t worry, I’m fine. My dad’s okay too I didn’t get a chance to update you Had a lot on my mind Sophie No, yeah. I get it Y/N How was the day 2 concert? Sophie Just as amazing as day 1 Well, actually it was a bit weird I felt like the members weren’t as playful as the first time around. It seemed like they had a lot on their mind too … Maybe it was just one of those days Y/N Yeah, I guess Sophie Either way, it’s a shame we didn’t get to hang out more before you left I’m glad your dad’s okay Y/N Me too. If I’m ever back in the city, I’ll let you know Sophie Of course. In the meantime, want to see some videos from last night? Y/N Sure!

Y/N You sure you don’t want anything from the store? Mom I’m sure sweetie, thank you. Y/N Ok Mom Hey, while I have a chance to talk to you without your dad listening in. We need to talk about your soulmates. Y/N What about them? Mom Sweetheart, I remember when I met my soulmate. We were inseparable for weeks. I couldn’t even imagine how hard it is to be away from them right now. Y/N Mom … Mom I mean, even now, not being able to see her makes me uncomfortable. Why do you think we have our weekly Friday night meet ups? Y/N I thought that was just an excuse to go out and complain about Dan from finances Mom You and I both know I don’t need an excuse to complain about Dan. But that’s not the point. I can’t stand not being with Lucy. And we’re only platonic soulmates. From what I’ve heard, that’s definitely not the case with you. Y/N Mom! Mom You should be with your soulmates. Y/N Dad’s still in recovery, mom You can’t take care of him yourself, you have work and your health issues … You need help. They understand, we can make it work Besides, they’re on tour. I was going to have to be away from them for a while anyway It’s not like I could just go on tour with them Mom I’m sure that’s not true. Y/N Im almost back at the room. We can talk about this later

Being away from your soulmates for so long so soon after meeting can’t be good for you. Or them! Y/N They have each other, they’ll be fine. Mom That’s not how this works, and you know it. Have you even talked to them about it? Y/N I don’t want to talk about it. Not right now. Mom You can’t run away from your problems forever.

Y/N Hey, can I ask for some advice? I need an unbiased opinion Sophie Well I’m not sure I’d consider myself unbiased. I’m definitely Han biased, that’s for sure. ;) Y/N It’s about my soulmate Sophie OH! I totally forgot about that, you haven’t talked about them at all! Y/N Yeah, between everything with my dad and then school and stuff … My mom has been on my ass these past few weeks about it Sophie About what? Y/N She thinks its unhealthy for me to be away from them She has this scary close bond with her soulmate, a childhood friend of hers. And she can’t imagine being away from her, so she thinks that I need to go be with my soulmate But I’ve been refusing, and now every time I see her it feels like she’s seconds away from starting another argument I’m just so tired of all the arguing, and wondering if maybe she’s right I have been having a harder time getting sleep Sophie Oh wow, that’s …. Wow. Y/N yeah Sophie I’m not sure you want my honest opinion right now. Y/N Please, I do. I need someone that isn’t my mom to be straight up with me. Am I being irrational? Sophie Well, first of all, being away from your soulmates is definitely not easy. But It’s also not a big deal, and long distance relationships work fine even between new soulmates. So maybe your mom is projecting a little bit. But I don’t think that’s the problem here. Y/N ??? Sophie Why does the idea of leaving to be with your soulmates bother you so much? I mean, when I found Alexis I was overjoyed, but I still didn’t have time to see him a lot. We both had school and work, and it was hard to find time to spend together. Honestly, I would have taken any opportunity I had to be with him. And yet here you are, turning down all of your mom’s offers. I feel like something else is at play here than just your mom’s pushiness. Y/N … Sophie I told you you wouldn’t like my opinion. Y/N No, you’re right Fuck, you’re right Sophie I usually am :) Y/N Thank’s Sophie, I really needed someone to knock some sense into me. Sophie Glad I could help. Want some memes? Y/N Yes, please!

0o0o0

Y/N Mom. I’m sorry You were right, I want to be with my soulmates. I really appreciate everything you’ve done to give me the opportunity to be with them. And I’m sorry I’ve been so stubborn about it. But Mom, I feel like you’re pushing me away. I feel like you don’t want me here. My soulmates will never be more important than you. You’re my mom, and I worry about you and dad. I worry about you guys being by yourselves, about being away from you. I’m scared and I just feel like everything is moving too fast. Can you call me when you get off work? I love you.

0o0o0

Y/N We need to talk Chan That doesn’t sound good Y/N It’s nothing bad, I promise Chan Okay? Y/N My dad has been getting better. He’s walking now. Chan That’s great! I’m glad your dad’s okay. Y/N Yeah Chan I have a feeling that’s not what you wanted to talk about, though. Y/N They managed to talk with a neighbor, and he agreed to drive my dad to his appointments if my mom can’t take him. And I started taking online classes. Chan Huh? Y/N Chris I think we need to talk about what happens when you guys are done with your tour.

Min Jun: So, what did you want to talk about?

Iseul: Megan and I sort of-we-well, okay. She came over to tell me that she and Tess were separating and divorcing, and that she wants to be with me and I told her I felt the same way. (Min Jun nods) and one thing led to another and we ended up spending the night together.

Min Jun: Wow, okay. Is, I’m glad but I have to be straight with you for a second, not that either of us are straight (Iseul grins, and Min Jun snorts before becoming serious). Jokes aside, are you ready for this commitment whether it’s a partnership or marriage?

Iseul: Yes, I am. I’m not saying it’ll be easy or we’ll get married tomorrow or anything, we actually decided to wait til a year so Megs and I can both sort things out and be together when we’re in healthier places. (Min Jun nods again). But I definitely want to get married to her someday, I love her so much, MJ. And I want to be a stepmom to her kids, if they’re okay with it too. I’m a little scared because I’ve never had kids, but I want to be in their lives too.

Min Jun: (smiling) That’s great, Is. I am happy for you, and I’m glad you guys are doing it in a healthy and though out way. As for being a stepmom, it’s fine to be scared but give the kids some time. This is probably a big shock for them all, especially Emily. Just know that once you have kids, those kids become your main focus and they come first in a way nothing else does.

Iseul: (nods) Thanks MJ. And I’ll definitely give the kids as much time as they need, but I’ll also respect it if they don’t want that relationship with me as much as that might hurt. I've known Megs’ older two kids Safiya and Amir for a bit and we’re on good terms. Her youngest daughter Emily’s always been like a niece to me and I love her the same way I love Cammy and Cece, but now I’m not sure how she feels and I understand if she needs her space too.

Min Jun: (smiling) Not to get too sappy, but umma and appa would be so proud of you. I know it’s been a tough year and you’ve made some mistakes and gone through stuff, but I’m glad to see you’re turning it around, taking responsibility and working on yourself. Plus, I like Megan too and I always wanted her as a sister-in-law since Paenji and I met her all those years ago.

Iseul: (smiling) I know. You, umma, and appa told me I was crazy for not getting serious with Megan and I was too stubborn to listen then. I definitely spent a long time regretting letting her go but now I have a chance to be with her once we've had some time to work on ourselves, and I won't squander it. (Min Jun's eyes get misty) Hey, don't cry MJ or you'll make me cry too.

Min Jun: I'm not, it's just sweet in a way and I'm happy for you baby sis.

Iseul grins at this and she catches up with Min Jun for a bit. They talk about his oldest daughter Cece and some cute videos she'd sent of her daughter's school recitals, and his youngest daughter Cammy, who was on a weekend trip to her fiancée Piper's house in Evergreen Harbor, and had sent photos of her and Piper at the caboose bar and wandering around the marketplaces.

How about Love prompt 47 with Rin tohsaka and Mordred. I'm really loving your writing

I thank you for the compliment my friend, but there are a great many far better at this than I and my scribbles of broad ideas.

NOW YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND!

Love Prompt #47- You're Cute When Your Angry

Rin Tohsaka

Rin Tohsaka was infamous as the Red Devil for a great many reasons, the least of these being her quick temper.

Especially when a certain blonde woman who for protective purposes will not be named was involved.

Case in point, the current situation you were in at the moment.

“ARGH! THAT BLONDE BIMBO BITCH!” the voice of a certain dark haired woman shouted to the heavens in a rage, her face a mix between a snarl and a mouth barred closed in a rage with an all consuming angry fire burning in them.

“Oh don’t let her get to you Rin.” you told the woman next to you in a weak attempt to get her to calm down.

After all, seeing her like this? It was a treat that only you could enjoy completely.

“Do you think if I blew a few extra holes into her anyone would notice!?” Rin hissed out the mean idea.

“Hmm… maybe a few people.” you responded with a smile. You might like to see Rin angry, but knowing how she can get it may be time to actually get her to calm down before she actually decides to commit premeditated murder.

Rin let out a growl, akin to that of a feral cat.

Then again, you could wait just a little while more, right? It wasn’t like she would actually try and murder she who will not be named.

Rin was naturally cute, but when she was angry? That was a whole other level of Adorable.

Rin went ramrod straight before whipping her entire body around to look you in the eye, a blush on her face.

Oh, you said that aloud didn’t you?

Mordred Pendragon

Mordred was furious.

This was her week off, but of course someone needed her to come in at the last fucking moment!

Hell the only reason Mordred hadn't gotten the wild hair to go out on a “Enthusiastic Walk” was because of what you said when you saw her face when she got the call.

“Oh you are downright adorable when you're angry~!” your voice cooed in her head for the thirtieth time today.

“Hey! Mordred! Sor- EEP!” Gareth began to call out before being silenced by Mordred who turned on her foot with an expression on her face that screamed “If you try to talk with me you are dead.” 

This was also known as her angry face.

A face that only you weren’t put off by.

You really were insufferable, but Mordred wouldn’t dare have you any other way.

After all, the love you gave her, it was something that had been foreign for her entire life up until she met you.

She felt like she was in one of those horrendous books Tristan would force her to read at arrow point.

Whenever she was with you she was always nervous like someone was going to jump out from behind something, except instead of watching her surroundings she obsessed over every detail she could see about you while her stomach did a full aerial acrobatics routine.

And don’t get her started when you say something like you did this morning, she was out the door as fast as a bolt of lightning, her face aflame with embarrassment and your wonderful laugh following her like a ghost on the wind.

God… she really was hopelessly in love with you wasn’t she?

The most wonderful curse had been inflicted upon the both of you by each other, and Mordred wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, I recently got into Lego Monkie Kid properly (aka: I finally watched it after almost a year of having read your AA-LMK cross)

I adore it even more now? And I'm wondering like. how did Sun Wukong even find him? Because I can't remember if you ever mentioned it.

Was he just like, wandering the city in disguise, did he see Phoenix in the news for one of his Shenanigan Cases, was he actively looking for a lawyer for some reason?

(also! Does Macaque acquire a lawyer as well after he starts getting roped into the 'Save-the-world' shenanigans?)

- ^_^ anon

'eyo! Welcome! And yay, thanks! Isn't it a fun show?!? I'm so behind (because it keeps ending on devestating cliffhangers and ah-haha, my heart, this is not good for the anxiety!!!!) but I love what I've seen and heard so much. Just... so so much. I love Mr. Tang, he's very Life Goals to me. <3

As for how Monkey King found Phoenix, hmmm... I think- wait, wait, nope, hold on, first thought was wrong, second, proper thought is that Monkey King got his fuzzy butt arrested while he was sneaking around the city in a human disguise and got himself arrested for causing problems on purpose. Probably loitering. Loitering seems like the kind of crime he'd commit just for kicks. Except he did it in the wrong place, and now he's being accused of a bunch of stuff that he totally would do but didn't actually do this time. And instead of just leaving like he usually would, he decided to play along for awhile, because Boredom, Literally Nothing Better To Do, Might As Well.

Cue Phoenix getting a tip that there's some guy in need of a lawyer (it's not from Edgeworth, we're still in early-stage Phoenix for this, he's all shiny and new and stupid, precious child), and down he goes, offering to help. He knows this poor man in innocent and he's going to prove it.

What he actually proves is that he's the most interesting person Monkey King's seen in forty years and hey, is that a li'l bitty bit of actual phoenix he senses in there...? Say, can I hire you on for my day-to-day lawyering, so I can actually do more stuff in this weird modern era?

Phoenix, in his ignorance and innocence, agrees.

Ends up avoiding a lot of troubles in regards to Kristoph over it and ensuring a steady flow of income for the Agency for the rest of his life, but at what cost?

As for Macaque, of course he gets a lawyer! Wukong has one, obviously he has to have one too!

And obviously it has to be Wukong's lawyer. Because it's Macaque, and, while I do enjoy the expanding of his character and connection to Wukong, I've also watched his segment in the OSP Journey to the West series, and am fully aware that he was planning to up and co-opt not only Wukong's role, but the entire Journey so he could do it instead, and I'm not letting go of that tidbit until canon forces me to at knife point. Because these are two petty, petty immortal frienemies, and I love that for them.

And the great part is, it's perfectly natural for lawyers to have multiple clients, so it's not like taking on another demon monkey is going to cause issues down the road!

Spoilers: it caused issues down the road, because Phoenix can have them both as clients, but can't represent both of them in court against each other at once. Well- I mean, he probably legally could, given the mixing of AA nonsense with LMK nonsense, but, physically and mentally speaking, no, he really can't.

Honestly, finally officially meeting the LMK gang and learning that they're in the same boat he's in is a huge relief, and finding out Tang's a JttW expert is just... Phoenix could cry, an expert, he finally has an expert he can turn to when new crap pops up, thank everything.

And also thanks for the ask! ^U^

[kelin-is-writing]

slowly creeps around corner

i come with more angst >:)

so we've already established what it would be like if dabi is scared of touching you for various reasons but what if you are scared of touching him?

ofc you don't think the scars are gross or anything - you would never - but you can tell that he's in pain. he tries to hide it as much as possible but you notice anyway.

the way he wears loose-fitting clothes to prevent them from rubbing against the burnt skin and how he sometimes flinches when he accidentally touches smt on a bad day

so you avoid touching him bc you're scared it'll hurt him and dabi completely misinterprets your actions and assumes you think he's disgusting

when he finally confronts you about it (he's lowkey trying to break up with you to spare himself the pain of getting dumped by you) our poor baby might actually cry when you finally tell him why you do it :')

that's it. sry my asks are so sad lately lol 🧍

- 🥛

damn milk... you were seriously coming through with these angst asks like— why would you want to hurt me like this is truly beyond me...

like... you had noticed that recently, because the amount of times he had overexerted himself, by using his quirk, and that has made you worry to the point you sometimes couldn’t sleep well at night, thinking about how much in pain he might be.

so one day when you came across him, you right away walked up to the raven haired boy ready to hug him but remembering how only yesterday you overheard him hiss in pain as he changed into clean clothes, you stopped on your tracks right away and dabi would be so taken aback at seeing that you were about to put your hand on his neck but stopped midway with your hand stretched out, eyes full of panic fixed on him and an awkward smile petrified on your face before backing away with a little “hey...”, he starts to get super paranoid, thinking you’re disgusted at the idea of touching his scarred skin; his heart sunk at the thought of such a scenario, but nevertheless he acted like he hasn’t noticed your hesitation and instead of giving you the usual hug when you come to him, he just gave you a knowing bittersweet smile before brushing past you, leaving you behind, confused by such an action.

since you’ve noticed how that whole week he’s been in huge pain because of his scars seen the increasing amount of missions there has been recently and also the weather being a bitch, definitely taking a tool on him, you kept your distances for his sake but still staying near him.

that wasn’t enough for dabi though, because he didn’t only need you close to him... he needed to feel you close to him and right now to the arsonist you felt more far than you’ve ever been, even more than before you two started dating; your absence made him feel miserable, weak and lost, but he also understood (well... not really...) why you wouldn’t want to touch him. his rough greasy scars must’ve felt gross to touch and look at after all, so he couldn’t really blame you for not wanting to even brush against it, but it still hurt so fucking much because it was you and only in that moment dabi has realized how much important you were to him to the point he couldn’t breath when you weren’t by his side and that was dangerous, he wasn’t supposed to depend on someone so much and you deserved someone better in his opinion.

someone who would help you provide the bare minimum to survive, who wouldn’t put you in danger only because the two of you were together, who you wouldn’t be disgusted to touch, who could make you actually happy. and that someone, unfortunately, wasn’t him, because he’s a villain who has committed mass murder and is wanted across all of japan.

your life with him would be miserable, that’s why he ultimately decided to let you go, for both of your sakes.

so one day after he came back from another mission, and you went to welcome him, dabi waited for the others to be far from the hearing range before asking if he could talk to you about something important. feeling suddenly anxious, seen his face and tone, you muttered a small “sure...” following him into his room where he made you sit on his bed while the villain stood with his back resting against the door, hands in the pockets of his jeans and head hung low to hide the pained expression he had on “i’ve been thinking about this for a while now... i was a little hesitant at the beginning because you’re so damn important to me, but this is going to be for the best...”, were you tripping or was this speech leading to a... break-up?!

when you realized it, you jumped on your feets right away glaring at dabi upset and already on the verge of tears “no.”, he stopped talking looking your way like a lost puppy, sad eyes glancing into yours “don’t do this dabi.”, that was the first time you called his name so harshly and it made him widen his eyes for a brief second before he averted them, pointing the downwards, not able to hold eye contact with you any longer than he already did “why are we even having this talk in first place? i don’t understand...”, you questioned clenching tightly your fists resting long your sides, view becoming blurry as tears were starting to come up, you were so confused, disoriented and scared it was making you feel dizzy “you don’t understand? when you’ve been the one putting distances between us, out of no-fucking-where?”, dabi vented out never looking at you in the eyes, afraid he might waver the moment he locked gaze with you, you were the only one to ever make him hesitate and that was scaring the shit out of him.

you looked at him blinking furiously, confused as seconds went by, trying to understand what he was on about. when ever did you put distances between you and him? you weren’t understanding a thing about what he was saying “wait a moment, when did i ever put distances between us?”, you questioned resting an hand at the side of your head and lifting one up in front of you, to signal the boy to stop talking for a second because your brain just blew up from all that situation, before looking at dabi quizzically. he curled his lips turning away from you, bitter expression on his pretty face as he spoke “there’s no need for you to act clueless, i know you’re disgusted by my scars...”, the boy spat coldly, jaw clenching as soon as he finished what he had to say; damn... saying it out loud hurts even more than just thinking about it.

you were flabbergasted, to say the least, at hearing what he was saying “say what now?! i’m not disgusted by your scars though?!”, he let out a sarcastic snort before glaring you from the edge of his eye “don’t fucking lie to my face y/n.”, dabi growled between gritted teethes, making you whince surprised by the way he spoke to you, clicking his tongue as his eyes looked away from you, already feeling bad and guilty for talking that way to you; he just hates liars with burning passion though and maybe this was for the better, he could use it to push you away from him so you could let go of each others more easily.

pressing your lips together in frustration, you stomp heavily towards him and cup his face to force dabi to turn your way, eyes looking firmly into his cerulean ones “i’m telling you the fucking truth dabi.”, he’s taken aback by the confidence in your voice and the intensity of your gaze “i love you and your scars, so i better not hear you say such nonsense anymore.”, and as per usual, it took dabi only a few words from you to easily make his convictions waver.

the raven haired villain pressed his trembling lips together swallowing thickly, then his hands rested over yours, an anguish feeling in the pit of his stomach as he looked at you with sad eyes “then why have you stopped touching me?”, the weakness and desperation with which dabi asked that question was so new to you, it made your heart sunk more though the way he had seemed so hopeless until now, like he was waiting for you to leave him and never look back “i miss you so fucking much princess...”, he whined with deep hoarse voice closing his fingers around your hand while leaning into your touch and turning his face to press his lips against your palm, kissing it with so much longing and yearning that all together with his words made you short-circuit as your heart skipped a beat before jumping up to your throat.

completely weakened by dabi’s current state you went for it and surrounded his bust with your free hand hugging your man tightly, surprising him “i miss you too pretty boy...”, at those words his heart fluttered even though he felt anything but pretty, still... when you called him that dabi couldn’t help get swayed, his free arm going to surround your waist and hug you even closer, if it was possible “i didn’t touch you because i was afraid of hurting you... you seemed so much in pain these days, i didn’t want to add to it...”, you confessed in a small voice, feeling tears prickling at your eyes as you buried your face against the crook of his neck, feeling right away reassured and happy to finally be back where you belonged, his lips parting from your palm and going to rest on your cheekbone “there’s no need for you to be afraid of hurting me, your touch and presence is everything i need to feel better...”, before kissing it lovingly as his hand went to rest on the crook of your neck, thumb brushing against your cheek tenderly “you just have to stay by my side.”, and his lips slid down to yours pressing against them longer than usual before he angled his head to interlock them with one another, tongue licking slightly your bottom lip sneaking inside your mouth to deepen the kiss.

dabi has been away from you a little too much, it was seriously crazy how much he had missed to feel you this close to him and as of now he can’t believe he had actually pondered about letting you go, when he needs you much more than he has ever thought he would have.

when you two parted your lips curled up in an happy smile, hands cupping his cheeks as you set your loving gaze into his completely lovestruck one “don’t worry, there’s no way i’m leaving you.”, and that’s everything dabi needs to hear before he goes to kiss you once again, mover fervently this time.

and you can bet that’s going to be a veeeery long night for you lovebirds 😚

[mackenzie-00s]

So in today's post I'd like to mention that I will be mentioning some conditions or rather an injury. It actually resembles Pityriasis Rosea ( you can search it up for research purposes if you'd like)

It's a permanent injury I got when I was about in my tens . I have two conditions that I sadly have to live with. So I will be using for my insert oc , since I didn't have inspiration 🤧

1.Costochondritis is the inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone (sternum). It causes localized chest pain, which may be sharp or aching and often worsens with certain movements, deep breaths, or pressure.

2.Rib Malunion occurs when a fractured rib heals improperly, leading to abnormal alignment of the bone. This can cause chronic pain, discomfort, and deformity. Malunion often results from inadequate immobilization of the rib or severe trauma, which prevents the bone from healing in its correct position.

It's pretty hard to deal with but with medications and some exercise I do pretty well👍

Let's get to the story...

______________________________________________

Late night talks..

The night for Robin was always a time of relaxation and rest..from all the bustle and rustle of the day.. during her years of running away from the marines it was the night that she awaited the most so she could finally take a break from all of the days events..but now on the thousand sunny she could be at peace , now that her friends saved her from CP9 at Enies lobby and she didn't didn't have to live knowing the fate of death would meet her soon..for now at least. And she even got herself a lover.. everything was going well for her .

The night and it's serenity ,the peace it carried... everything was perfect..the crew getting ready for bed after a long day..but for robin she could only be at peace with her lover.. Sammy who had. Sammy unlike all the other crew members always stayed or just hung out with robin when she first joined the crew.. always sticked with her even if she didn't talk back..but he didn't take those reproaches he decided to stay no matter what..to the point he was able to stay engraved in her heart.

Robin was putting her books back after a nice day

Of reading..she had found a interesting novel at the last island they had gone too..her train of thoughts cut off when she heard a knock on her door..

"Come in ." She said not really paying attention to the person at the door and more to her books..ever since she has been with this crew she has learned to put her guard down..or maybe dating Sammy ..or maybe both..she chuckled to herself at the thought..

Sammy then entered and said " Hey , you done?"

He said walking to her to see what she was doing.

He looked over her shoulder.

Robin chuckled and said " almost just be a little patient dear." she said putting the books on the shelf.

He groaned and sat on the library couch a pout on his face. Robin chuckles , shaking her head " never the patient one are we ?"

He mumbled something under his breath, but robin was able to hear it..years of having her guard up for so long , and never letting it down , would explain it all...in his mumbled words robin was able to hear a little "I don't want to wait." She giggles sprouting a hand from the wall petting his head. "I know you don't like being patient love, don't worry I'm done anyways... sorry for keeping you waiting."

She made the hand disappear, the beautiful cherry blossom petals gracefully falling on his blond hair.. she took a moment to admire the pink petals, she chuckles, it looked cute on him. Having the results of her power which she usually used to defend and protect herself, commiting crimes, those pink beautiful petals that always stayed behind on the crime scene..a hint of her presence. To see them on his head..it made her.. blissful, happy , proud , endeared all at once.

His pout replaced with a look of curiosity "what?"

He asked unaware of the petals on his head.

"Nothing." she said, trying her best to not giggle or do anything of the sort. "How about we go take a bath hmm?"

She said sitting next to him caressing his cheek.

He leaned in , like a pup seeking love from it's master. "A bath? Why not " he smiles. " Me and Zoro had a pretty rough work out today..I wouldn't mind a nice warm bath before bed.."

She smiled knowing how hard he worked and trained to protect her and the rest of the crew.

She hummed softly , rubbing back in soothing circles his back knowing he might be a little sore.

" You had a hard day didn't you?" She stood up taking his hand softly helping him stand up

" I have a nice shampoo i bought yesterday with nami at the island we docked at , it's lavender scented." She said running a hand up his chest.

He smiled "does that mean I'll smell just like you?"

He said enthusiastically.

She chuckled " well I just said it was new , but since we're taking a shower together..we will smell the same." She said playing with the collar of his shirt.

His smile never faltered " well then, aslong as I get to smell like you." He said.

they headed to the bathhouse of the thousand sunny. Robin opened the water so it could fill up the tub.

She then spoke "I'll be back I have to go grab some stuff then I'll be back." She headed to the door and looked over , taking his form and smiling to herself. She then went to their shared room and went in her drawer looking for bath salts and the new shampoo she had mentioned earlier. Once those objects collected she headed back to bath house.

When she made it there Sammy was already getting undressed , his bare back facing her. She couldn't help but admire her lovers body, the scars, every line and contour or his body.. to her he was perfect, even with his imperfections and flaws..

He turned around and looked at her " hey , I've been waiting for you."

She smiled " yeah I'm back, with what I was going to take.." she then started mixing the bath salts and a nice lavender bath bomb that made the bath smell nice..she mixed the every using her hand to feel if the bath was warm enough.

She then turned around to tell him that he could get in , when a familiar sight met her. The familiar red swollen spot that resided on his ribs. Samuel had a permanent injury on ribs , that he got when he was little..or so he told robin. And Robin jas noticed how that injury makes him uncomfortable. Whether it's when they wake up in the morning after a long night, and he stretches to shake off the remaining envy of sleep , and how his yawn would be short cut of by a hiss or a wince. It all broke her heart to know that her lover would have to live like this for the rest of his life and she couldn't do anything about it. But her thought were cut off when she realized she had been staring at him for to long .

He then spoke "you seem a bit distracted, what's going on?" He asked.

She shook her head and smiled " it's nothing, I was just thinking about something." She said trying to maintain a neutral tone.

He didn't look convinced, he look down at himself following where her gaze was situated he then saw what the problem was..he sighs and then spoke again " it's about the injury isn't it?"

She sighed her attempt at keeping cool failing, and she spoke " it is..I just can't shake of the idea of you being in pain all the time..and theres nothing I can do to stop it."

He smiled taking her hand and placing it on his injured ribs. Robin breath hitched at the feel of the warm , swollen, and damaged flesh. She softly ran her fingers over the edges of it , making him a little tense , but he relaxed a bit after. Robin then spoke out of guilt "did I hurt you?" She said taking her hand away from the damaged flesh, but he put it right back on it keeping her hand firmly there.

He then spoke " no you didn't hurt me, I know you would never do it anyway." he smiled at her " you should take worry so much about me robin..I'm used to the pain..and I have to live with it whether I like it or not..it hurts.. but your touch numbs the pain.."

Robin at his words felt a warm feeling in her heart but she couldn't really tell what it was. They sat there for awhile until robin spoke her voice barely a whisper " the bath is getting cold..why don't you go in."

He nodded standing up and taking of the rest of the garments that covered his body..robin turned around so she could let him undress..she finally turned around when she heard the sound of him entering the bath and the water splashing.

It was now her turn to undress..she smiled as she saw him also taking his turn to turn around. She then started unbuttoning her shirt and taking off her pants.. leaving her in her black undergarments..she loved that he respected her privacy ,but sometimes she wished he would atleast show some want or more specifically..desire for her. She put those thoughts away and took off the rest of her garments leaving her bare..she entered the bath attaching herself to him..she layed her head on his chest.. enjoying the hard but soft skin..

She then spoke " this is nice." She said a content smile on her face .

He nodded and add "yeah..it is." He said , his hand rubbing gentle and soothing circles on her back.

To reciprocate she softly ran her fingers over his injured rib , feeling the swollen muscle there. She admired how strong he was to even wake up every day and deal with the pain... her emotions welled up and she couldn't help but give the damaged flesh a tender, lingering kiss..to her suprise,he didn't flinch, hiss, wince, or even jerk up..he stayed still...maybe he was just staying still because it was her..but she hoped and she tried to believe in what he told her..she wanted to believe that she was the reason the pain numbed away..that even with her priceless kiss, she could kiss away the pain he felt..

She kept her hand on his injury.. gently drawing patterns on it..she remembers reading books on these type of injuries..and borrowing some of choppers medical books to learn on it..his injury was red.. swollen..warm.. the red edges shaded perfectly with his tan skin color. He always described the pain as sharp and it stung..and on some days he described it as dull and sore. She really wanted to relief the pain for him.

She then thought of an idea, and spoke " you know...I could ask chopper if we could have an appointment to check out on you?"

He hummed in thought, and said " why not..I have been feeling some soreness on my rib..some pain killers could help."

She then spoke " pain killers seem like a fast way to get rid of it..but it's not a good idea..I prefer you use more practical ways to get rid of the pain..even if for just a few."

She then added " you could try yoga for instance, I read that training your rib muscle would stretch them and you wouldn't feel so strained ."

He then chimed " I do train my muscles, matter fact I train everyday with zoro-"

She contradicted " not training with dumbbells, Sammy. Training with more delicate methods, not just punching, swinging, and lifting things..that strains your injury and that's why you always come complaining to me."

He brushed it off by saying" pfft I feel completely fine after a work out, and I don't complain I just..."

She skeptically looked at him " you just what?"

He then gave up , and his shoulders slumped..he spoke "fine I'll take a break , and do yoga." He said the last word with disgust.

Robin chuckled at his stubbornness he could be persistent..but never with her. And thats one of the things she loves about him.

Robin was greatful for moments like these..the calm serenity of the night. They're casual toe keeping banter. And amongst all of these her favorite..his presence..a calm grounding presence he had..the one thing that ground her and let her guard down.

Robin then thought, by this time a few years ago before she joined the crew she'd be probably be running away from marines or people shed betray..or resting on a wall after a long day of running away.. because indeed the night was the on time she could let herself rest half of the weight on her shoulders slipping..but never falling..but with him..she could throw it all.

★ Chapter Nine: The Group Hangout

If there’s one thing that never fails to make high school bearable, it’s hanging out with your friends. After the rollercoaster of emotions that was the sports festival, everyone was looking forward to just goofing off and having a good time together. It was one of those rare days where all of us—Minji’s group and mine—actually decided to meet up and spend the day as one big crew.

It was chaos from the start.

We had planned to meet at the mall at noon, but of course, not a single one of us managed to be on time. I showed up first, which was a bad sign. Rei and Leeseo were ten minutes late, bickering about whether we should hit the food court first or the arcade. Leeseo wanted food, Rei wanted games—classic.

“I’m not spending an hour waiting for you to finish your fourth bubble tea,” Rei grumbled as we stood outside the entrance. “Arcade first, food after.”

Leeseo folded her arms, unbothered. “You say that now, but I know you’ll lose miserably and then beg for boba to heal your bruised ego.”

Before Rei could fire back, Minji showed up, arm in arm with Karina, both of them sporting sunglasses like they were starring in their own K-drama. Behind them trailed Hanni, Yunjin, and Ryujin, laughing about something ridiculous. And then, there was Wonyoung—holding hands with her girlfriend, Yujin.

Yujin was, annoyingly, the definition of cool—tall, confident, and always with a smirk that made it look like she knew something you didn’t. The worst part? She was actually pretty chill, and Wonyoung seemed happy with her. I could live with that, I guess.

“Hey, sorry we’re late!” Hanni called out, jogging over with Yunjin and Ryujin in tow. “We got distracted at the bakery.”

Yunjin held up a bag of bread triumphantly. “We brought croissants though, so really, we’re doing you a favor.”

“Croissants?” Leeseo perked up. “Maybe we should do food first after all…”

Rei groaned. “No! Arcade. Now.”

-————-

Once we finally made it to the arcade, the chaos truly began.

Ryujin, as expected, declared herself the queen of air hockey and promptly challenged everyone to a match. Minji and Karina stood off to the side, pretending to be uninterested, but they were totally placing bets on who would win. Hanni was way too invested in one of those claw machines, determined to win a stuffed penguin even though we all knew those things were rigged.

“Just let it go, Hanni,” I said, watching her feed yet another coin into the machine. “You’ve already spent enough to buy three of those penguins at this point.”

“No way,” Hanni replied, her face set with steely determination. “This is a matter of principle now. The penguin is mine.”

Yunjin leaned in closer, whispering loud enough for everyone to hear. “She’s been saying that for the last twenty minutes.”

Wonyoung laughed, nudging Yujin. “We’ll be here all day at this rate.”

Meanwhile, Rei and Leeseo had found a dance battle machine, where they were absolutely destroying everyone’s expectations. Leeseo, who looked way too serious, was actually shockingly good at it, while Rei... was more committed to the performance than the actual steps.

“Is she... freestyle dancing?” I asked, watching Rei spin in circles while Leeseo tried to focus on the actual arrows on the screen.

“That’s Rei’s secret,” Yunjin said, stifling a laugh. “She never follows the rules.”

I was about to reply when Wonyoung sidled up next to me, her eyes bright with amusement. “Think you can beat me at basketball, Y/N?”

I raised an eyebrow. “You’re challenging me?”

Wonyoung grinned, her competitive side showing. “Why not? Unless you’re scared you’ll lose.”

“Oh, it’s on.”

-—————-

The basketball challenge was intense. Wonyoung, with her long arms and natural grace, was surprisingly good. I wasn’t about to let her know that though. We battled it out on the machine, the score flipping back and forth until the buzzer rang.

It ended in a tie.

“A tie?” Wonyoung pouted dramatically, crossing her arms. “I was sure I’d win.”

“You were close,” I said with a smirk, wiping sweat from my brow. “But I guess we’re evenly matched.”

Yujin, who had been watching the whole time, leaned against the machine with an amused grin. “You two are so competitive. Next time, we’ll have to do something like go-karting or rock climbing. See who’s really the best.”

Wonyoung’s eyes lit up. “Oh, I’m down for that.”

“Of course you are,” I muttered under my breath, trying not to let my brain focus on how cute she looked when she was in her competitive mode.

-—————-

After a few more rounds of games, we eventually moved on to karaoke. That’s where things got... wild.

Ryujin was the first to grab the mic, belting out some old-school K-pop song with so much passion that it made us all cry-laugh. Hanni joined in, adding ridiculous dance moves that barely matched the beat, while Yunjin recorded the whole thing on her phone, promising to upload it to the group chat later.

Minji, ever the quiet one in these chaotic situations, was content to sit with Karina, who kept egging her on to join in. After a lot of pleading, Minji finally caved and did a surprisingly good duet with Karina, the two of them harmonizing like pros. I could see why Karina liked her—Minji was a bit dorky, but in a way that made people want to be around her.

“Okay, who’s next?” Yujin asked, scanning the room with a mischievous glint in her eye. “Y/N? Wonyoung?”

Wonyoung waved her hand dismissively. “I’ll pass.”

“Oh, come on,” Yujin teased, wrapping an arm around her girlfriend. “You can’t back out now. Besides, wouldn’t it be fun to do a duet?”

Wonyoung laughed, gently shoving Yujin away. “Fine, fine. But don’t expect anything amazing.”

They ended up singing together, and honestly, it wasn’t half bad. I watched them, trying not to feel too much, but I couldn’t help it. The way Wonyoung glanced at Yujin with that soft smile on her face—it hurt, but I forced myself to enjoy the moment for what it was: friends hanging out, having a good time.

Leeseo and Rei joined in next, doing a ridiculous performance of some overly dramatic ballad, and by the end of it, we were all rolling on the floor, tears streaming down our faces from laughing so hard.

-————-

As the day wound down, we all gathered in the food court for one last snack before heading home. Hanni finally won her penguin (after far too many attempts), Ryujin was still arguing about who was the better air hockey player, and Rei was trying to convince Leeseo to start a dance battle league with her.

But despite all the noise and the jokes flying around, I felt... content. These were my friends—chaotic, ridiculous, and sometimes way too much—but they were my people. Even Wonyoung, who sat across from me with Yujin by her side, felt like a part of this strange, wonderful mess of a group.

And for a moment, I let myself just enjoy it.

[canonically47]

I'd love to hear you rank all the All Stars from fave to least fave (and why)

i'll do least fave to fave since theres more to hate in this season, but here we go:

18. yul. idc how bad tom and jake get, riya can annoy me all she wants, alec could commit a crime and drastically drop down in my rankings, AND YUL WOULD STILL BE AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY DC LIST!!!!!!

i just... despise him. he has brought nothing of substance in any of his seasons and hes just homophobic, fatphobic and racist constantly. the only thing that annoys me more than yul are his fans defending him because hes FiCtIoNaL and because its fUnNy. bunch of idiots

17. jake. i dont like jake. fuck jake. he and tom used to be so high up in my list but oh how the mighty have fallen, i can barely remember a time when i was genuinely excited for their arc, now whenever i see them on screen i just beg for their scene to end as quickly as possible

16. tom. only higher than jake because he has a fun character arc in s1 and i love his design so much it redeems him a smidge in my head

15. hunter. so forgettable. idgaf about that emo white boy

14. ally. same as hunter but more annoying. ill give her a pass and place her higher because she was actually fun in s1. now shes just a whiny bitch whose gone from wah wah hunter doesnt listen to me to wah wah jake sucks

13. ashley. even more forgettable but at least shes bearable

12. tess. wait who? oh the prettier and more chill ally?? WAIT SHES IN THE SEASON???? oh wait shes gone? oh no!! anyways

11. lake. s2 is altogether very forgettable and i remember not giving a fuck about anything that had to do with her character arc. i wish we either got rosa maria back, or she got an actual arc in DCAS, but hey tomjake need to make up sooo... yeah.

10. riya. higher than lake because shes not forgettable but i still dislike her. her voice annoys me, her strategies are jus petty drama. her character design is awesome tho and i like her friendship with alec.

9. miriam. oh how the mighty have fallen. they had her here for four episodes yet they still managed to massacre her character in that time, incredible. ranked so high because her s1 self was awesome and my fav alongside alec and... tom <//3

8. connor. the fact that he is so high up should tell you a lot about the attrocity that is this season. not that i ever hated him, i just dgaf about him. this season did absolutrly nothing to make me root for him and he was useless as always, but when you have riya and yul in the same team as him, suddenly i want him to make finale. connor confuses me because jhst like fiore, he was clearly brought back to reconcile with someone (riya and alec respectively) yet he was barely given relevance or screen time and then they just eliminated him. because TOM AND JAKE GUYS!!! THEYRE STILL HERE!!! anyways yeah connor. wow

7. aiden. i used to have such deep and fun feelings about aiden and now hes just there to be toms friend. you would think getting james out gained him some independence, he would get a fun character arc outside of anyone else, but nope, hes not independent just decided to pull the lamest bitch ever. someone take him out already

6. fiore. so sad to see her so low but she was absolutely useless this season. if she doesnt come back then this show is fucked. her whole character arc built up to a reconciliation with alec yet it... never happened. radio silence. the season is still ongoing but my hopes ended with season 2

5. james. it is laughable that someone from season 2 (the second worst season) who i initially despised both for awful acting and bad morals is in the top 5 of a season he was eliminated first in but hey DCAS is really annoying me. so yeah. james!!! i miss james. do you guys think james could come back and just fucking kill jake. thatd be cool. love you james miss you sm

4. gabby. her villain arc could prove so fun but the fact that tess went all flower power at her elimination and forgave gabby for her actions might make gabby back out of her villainy which I DO NOT CARE FOR!!! I WANT MY EVIL GABBY FUCK YOU!!! anyways fun fact i also dislike gabbys voice actress because she thinks YELLING REALLY FUCKING LOUDLY = excitement so that made me dislike gabby for a long time. so now there are two characters in the top 5 whom i originally disliked. something about two nickels

3. grett. my love, she has done nothing wrong ever, my sweet little creature, my adorable cutsie patootsie, FUCKING DUMP YUL ALREADY OH MY GODDD her. i love her, ive loved her since the very beginning, i always rooted for her, if she doesnt make finale then this is rigged

2. ellie. my wife,,,, the way they treated you is abysmal come heal im my arms take as much time as you need,,, "oh but she bad-mouthed everyone on the show" IDC SO HAVE I GOOD FOR HER!!! GIRL FUCK EVERYONE THATS NOT IN MY TOP 7 IDC I EVEN AGREE WITH WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT MY FAVS!!! yall want more complex female characters but cannot handle ellie,,,, so weird to me that this trainwreck of a show has her in it someone free her

1. alec. is anyone surprised? ive loved alec since the first moment i saw him. he was the first decent, not over the top actor i heard, the best personality, the best arc, the best relationships. if he doesnt make finale then i WILL be upset because he deserves it and always has. that finale was bullshit and they pulled that thing with fiore and alec strictly for shock value. i miss them,, anyways ALEC!!! HE IS THE DISVENTURE CAMPER EVER!!!!!!! NEVER RUINED NEVER MISCHARACTERIZED PLEASE GODS ABOVE STOP GIVING ONC CRACK AND STEER THEM AWAY FROM COMMITING WRONGS AGAINST ALEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

side note: top three can sometimes mix depending on mood but they remain the same three characters just different positions sometimes :3

thanks for the ask this was fun and as you see i am so normal

[pocketramblr]

For the five ask game, if that's still going on, how about an iideku au where OFA ships them?

Torn between thinking this means the vestiges ship them, or that it means the quirk itself is a very excitable puppy dog that wants Tenya around as much as possible...

1- Tenya did not make a great first impression on 5/7.5 vestiges. Kudo and Bruce were like 'let 👏 him 👏 speak 👏' because they do, you know, kinda think Izuku's annoying but they sorta all did a 180° turn about him after the exam when Tenya apologized and praised Izuku's choice. Most of them like him. Bruce and Kudo are wondering how this kid keeps getting people to decide to like him after all.

2- OfA reacts differently under Izuku's hands, but he never realizes it because he assumes it's his own emotions and projecting. Yeah, his quirk feels jumpy and volatile around Kacchan like he could set it off and blow up his arm too easily, and fun and bubbly around Uraraka who's sure he'll figure out how to use it soon, and ok Izuku isn't sure why OfA races up to his skin faster around Iida, pushy, but maybe it's because he feels competitive with his friend.

3- The vestiges are actually in agreement for once when Izuku looks at Tenya at the train station. That Kid Is Going To Try To Commit Murder (and probably die in the attempt). "Is that what I looked like the last time you saw me alive?" Kudo asks Bruce. "No. But it's what I looked like to Shinomori." They want to help him. They want Izuku to help him. Izuku wants to help him. But they can't do anything except try to bend the power into something Izuku can actually use, and hope it's enough when the kid jumps off the train to find Tenya.

4- Nana, romantic she is, keeps getting excited when it seems they might lean in closer, might take each other's hands. Kudo asks if she and her husband were high school sweethearts to have such optimistic expectation of such a relationship, but Banjo says that dang it, Izuku at least deserves boyfriend even if they split after school, and Yoichi who has little concept of school and had a max relationship length of two months just wants them to confess already. Tenya's admiration is clear to everyone in Izuku's head except Izuku, and they can feel the boy's heartbeat in return. But sadly, they can't do anything while Izuku can't hear them... But, once he can...

5- "Good job training today, you'll master Float as soon as it comes to you at this rate!" Nana cheers Izuku in his dreams. He blushes, still unable to talk in the fog, but they figured out how to have him write in a notebook while he's there. "Hey, you know, White Day is coming up. Any plans? I can help you make something." Izuku raises his eyebrows because he's been warned Nana is a bit of a lethal chef, and also he's already made plans to make chocolate in return for his classmates, and more than triple the chocolate covered apple slices Eri was so excited to present him with a month ago. "I mean, other than Eri and the courtesy chocolate. Any confession plans?" Izuku starts waving his hands because he didn't get any confession chocolate and haha, why would he need to give any now, and En just sighs and breaks in with a "they need a third day for gay chocolate, bet Iida-kun would have made something for you then."

Izuku is eventually cajoled into making some orange chocolate treats for Tenya, only because he'd have plausible deniability that he just wanted to gift to his friends, but then Tenya presents him with All Might shaped chocolates and admits that maybe they are not purely platonic but that he still highly values Midoriya's friendship and would never mention the feelings again if he didn't want them and completely understands rejection and truly he- wait he didn't get rejected? Wait, it's the same for Midoriya? Both of them are very red, but happy. They don't really change much, neither is one for pda and calling each other their boyfriend feels like A Lot, but they do share food more often and move to calling each other by their given name in a manner that is adorably both shy and excited. But ah, we're halfway through March, and at the end of the month...

A couple weeks later, Izuku tapes letters to the doors of his classmates, then packs a bag to go, not planning on returning to the dorms again. He picks up the little bag of All Might chocolates that he'd slowly been going through. There's only two left. He slips them into the side pocket of his bag, then slips himself out of his window and down the building to leave campus, the vestiges silent around him and his quirk burning to go back when he can't.

[happiestplacehq]

Hey everyone !!

I hope we're all doing okay. I know life is kicking everyone's butt right now. I'm putting out the good vibes!

So, I'm finally on summer holiday and other than having studying to do for my ballet qualification, I actually genuinely have some free time on my hands at the moment. As you can probably all tell, the last few months have not been great for me keeping the main up to date and pushing things out, and keeping on top of everyone else's activity has been hard when I haven't been as active myself. Long story short, my mental health has absolutely tanked the last few months (understandable, given how many things have been thrown at me in a year and a half on top of work stress and studying) and I couldn't in good conscience hound anyone to be active when I was hiding myself.

For now, I feel rested and I'm pushing through the brain fog. I'm committing to being a better mod!

ANYWAY, all this is to say is that I'm planning a small revamp/ reboot of the RP, with the hopes that this motivates all of our players to make a slow and steady return to the dash.

This revamp will include some plot updates, a massive push for the plot moving forward, and an event to welcome the new "era" of the RP. (Trust me besties, I'm excited for the idea I have and I'm already writing things inside my mind!!)

I might change up the graphics and change some bios around here and there too if my mum's laptop agrees with photoshop. I'm not promising new bios just yet (as that is a hurdle unto itself).

The main thing to note going into this revamp is this:

There will be updates to the activity rules. Sadly, being as lenient as I have been has meant that activity has fizzled, which is understandable but not great if we're wanting to keep the RP moving forward, keep everyone feeling included and welcome new writers. (I know the dash has been moving better lately, but sometimes there are points where nothing is posted for a long time.)

I haven't decided on what the new rules will be yet, so am open to feedback and suggestions, but there will be changes to both activity and interaction rules. I will also be messaging each individual character account to ask your plans for the character going forward, or if you would like to drop the character at some point too. (If you're stuck with a character, this is a great time to reboot them.) These rules will not come into effect until the revamp is complete so there's still some time to message me or have a think about what you would like to do going forward.

As always, please send in a hiatus request if you think you will be away for over 2 weeks just so I can keep things as updated as possible.

To help me in this revamp, the RP/ Main will technically be on a semi-hiatus - RP and in character interactions will continue as normal, the main will just be quieter to help me make changes and keep track of everything. As such, I won't be promoting the RP until I'm happy with the revamp, and applications for new characters will be closed for a short while. You can still message me to change character FCs, request hiatuses and all the other usual stuff.

I'm giving myself until mid-August to get as much of this done as I can. I will be away in London for training from the 15th to the 23rd August, so if I put my mind to it we'll have something by then, OR the week I come back. I'll put a poll out nearer the time when we would like the grand-reopening to be!

Like I said, interactions are still to go ahead as normal! The game itself isn't on hiatus, just the main while I change things around and give everything a fresh coat of paint. Thank you to everyone who has stuck around thus far! I can't wait to see what this revamp sparks in everyone ✨

Please give this post a like once you have read it!

[hopeswriting]

set in the same verse as When does a Saint Become a Monster? as a sequel memories time-travel fix-it fic. i did a poll not too long about which pov i should go for and who should be the ones to keep their memories should i write such a fic, and @d-lissa proposed that everyone remembers except reborn from reborn's pov. if i ever actually commit to write this fic i don't think i'll actually go for this combination (sorry missi 💔), but i love it so much i just had to write something for it. so yeah, enjoy!

Nana Sawada's overjoyed at finding his flyer in her mailbox. She puts it safely in her pocket, and both she and him wait excitedly for Tsunayoshi to come back from school as she goes on about her day.

He comes back early, too early for him to not be skipping school again, but Nana waits for the school to call her before going to his room. Reborn follows after her, still concealing his presence, and swiftly slips inside Tsunayoshi's room unnoticed as soon as Nana cracks the door open.

"Don't barge into my room!" Tsunayoshi shouts, sitting from where he was lying on the floor, reading a manga.

"You can live your entire life bored like you are right now," Nana smoothly continues chiding him, "or live it happily. I want you to live feeling 'It's great to be alive!'."

Reborn listens with one ear as the conversation leads to Nana bringing him up, taking Tsunayoshi in. Of course, he's seen him before, has been watching him these past couple of weeks, but never from that close before.

Even from that close, not only there's nothing noteworthy about Tsunayoshi Sawada, but he's obviously lacking in many ways and to non-negligible extents too. He hasn't any potential to speak of either, not any Reborn has noticed yet anyway, but that's fine. Makes it even easier in a way, being free to build him from the ground up without any insufficient and inadequate preexisting foundations to get in his way.

Potential's never had anything to do with Reborn's flawless rate of success anyway, whether its presence or lack thereof. He got offered a job he decided to accept, and he doesn't plan to be anything less than perfect at it.

"I refuse to have a tutor, OK!" Tsunayoshi snaps at his mother again, now standing. "I'm not good at anything I do anyways!"

Reborn smirks. There goes his cue.

He comes out of his hiding spot, his suitcase in hand, standing in the middle of the room between Tsunayoshi and Nana. "Ciaossu," he greets them. "I arrived three hours early, but as a service, I'll evaluate you now."

Tsunayoshi goes stone-still, not even breathing anymore from the look of it. He doesn't dare to blink either, his eyes intent on him.

From the look in his eyes, he's as confused by his reaction as Reborn is. It isn't among the ones Reborn predicted from him.

"Hey... whose kid are you?" Nana asks, concern in her voice.

Reborn keeps his eyes on Tsunayoshi, watching him right back just as intently. "I'm Reborn," he starts slowly, boring his eyes into him, unwilling to miss even the slightest twitch of any of his muscles that might be a clue as to what he missed, "the home tutor."

Tsunayoshi gasps, something so soft Reborn doesn't even hear it, only sees his mouth part open. Something broken too from the way his chest rise and fall in a stutter.

His eyes go wide and become empty, looking at him but seeing right through him. Unseeing of everything in his sight altogether, yet looking at whatever his mind's showing him right now.

It's the same look that sometimes takes over Lal and Colonnello. The brief and merciful ones where they can remain frozen through it, their mind disconnecting from the present reality and trapping them in one of their own making.

But nothing about what he learned about Tsunayoshi hinted at this being something he goes through too, and he's learned everything there is to know about him. He thought he did. Did do so, because Reborn's nothing but thorough.

And what would have even triggered him? Him?

"Tsuna?" Nana calls out worriedly, stepping forwards.

It takes only a couple of seconds before Tsunayoshi snaps back to himself. Blinks back to himself, in fact, gasping, much louder and harsher than before, a desperate sound to it.

They catch each other's eye again, have never stopped looking at each other, but now Tsunayoshi sees him again too, a full-body flinch makes him stumble back.

He falls on his knees, whimpering, the tears in his eyes spilling out down his cheeks. He heaves, doubling over, but nothing comes out of his mouth as he slaps his hand against it. He lowers it to his chest, clutching at it and wrapping his other arm around his stomach tightly, as if… as if nursing a wound or trying to keep pain at bay, there’s no doubt about it.

He gasps for breath fast and hard, struggling to find it, and the strangled sobs he can't quite hold back only make it harder. Only make him curl over himself more as they tear through him, his hair falling in front of his eyes and hiding his face from sight.

"Tsuna!" Nana shouts, but Reborn stretches his arm to the side before she can rush to him.

"Wait."

"Don't."

Nana pauses, stunned at the order that echoes Reborn's own.

Reborn lets it hang in the air, deciding on what to make of it, the corners of his lips twitching up.

Tsunayoshi doesn't look any less... like he's unraveling than before, still gasping for breath and crying, yet there's no doubt he was the one to speak. There's no doubt it was an order too despite the tears strangled in his throat, as well as a warning.

If Reborn was a lesser man he'd second-guess himself about it, but he isn't.

A warning against what though? Speaking to his mother in that manner? Giving orders around like he owns the place? Meddling in a situation he has no business stepping in?

Reborn isn't so sure about the last one when he seems to be the cause of it to begin with.

Tsunayoshi blindly reaches out with a shaking hand. "Mom…" He sounds like the whine of a wounded animal, snapping Nana out of her stupor.

She's on her knees at his side in a blink, her hand in his, her other arm wrapped around him and holding him tight against her. "I'm here, Tsu-kun, I'm right here. What is it, what do you need? What can Mama help you with?"

Tsunayoshi holds onto her hand tightly like he has no intention of ever letting go of it again, his knuckles white and his nails digging into her skin. He doesn't answer her, but her soft voice and comforting words ease his breathing to a steady one and slow down the flow of his tears down his cheek.

He eventually straightens himself, catching his eye again. A long beat of silence passes as they look at each other.

Tsunayoshi's eyes gleam with tears again, but he doesn't let them fall. It looks like a struggle not to, the features of his face twisted in... not quite pain. And amidst the conflict on his face, there's warmth and fondness, happiness too, even, at his sight.

Maybe even..., but Reborn's too good to not second-guess himself on this one, instead reserving his judgment for later once he'd have had more time to observe.

Something that could be a smile curls up Tsunayoshi's lips. Something that would have been a smile too, perhaps, in different circumstances. "Reborn."

Reborn blinks slowly, can't help it.

It was strangely imploring, the sound of his name in his mouth. Yet at the same time, it was strangely accusing too.

In any case, he said it with recognition, with familiarity.

Did Iemitsu already speak to him about the mafia? No, there's not a chance he did.

Then, did someone manage to slip past Iemitsu's watch and bring the mafia to him before Reborn could? Unlikely, to say the least, yet…

"You know me?" Reborn asks.

Tsunayoshi laughs. It sounds pained, something a little more than a breath that leaves his throat raw in its wake, and he brings his hand to his mouth to cut it short. He squeezes his eyes shut, squeezing his mother's hand even tighter than before, and takes a slow and deep breath.

It seems to help him put himself back together. He stands, drying his eyes, Nana standing with him, and gently lets go of her hand, stepping away from her hold. He faces him, standing straight, shoulders squared but relaxed, looking at him straight in the eye.

Staring him down.

Reborn almost barks out a laugh, but restrains himself to a wide smirk that's all teeth.

Is he staring him down now? Staring him down? No-Good Tsuna?

Oh, how long has it been since Reborn felt so excitedly curious? He doesn't know what's going on, can't even begin to guess at it, but he has every intention to find out sooner than later.

Later though. For now, all he knows is that the boy in front of him looks nothing like the boy he watched these last couple of weeks, or the pitiful, weak and breaking down boy on his knees from only a couple of seconds ago.

All he knows is that a boy—a civilian stands in front of him like they're equals even as he clearly knows better than to be fooled by his appearance, a calm, confident resolve in his eyes and no hint of fear to be seen anywhere.

Reborn steps forwards. "Do you know me?" he asks lightly, easing up his smirk into a slight curl of his lips upwards and waiting to see if Tsunayoshi will see through his threat anyway.

He looks like he does, yet only a smile that doesn't reach his eyes graces his lips. "Reborn." His voice is soft, but cold. Full of recognition and familiarity still, but full of distance too in the way he doesn't let it shake him. "Leave. Or I'll make you."

requested by @onedirectionlovers2014

request: I watched the one where Dan was facing disbarment and had to get a job as a waiter at a French restaurant and I don't know, it just seemed to me like he had to get a job because him and the reader are starting a family and he wanted to make sure they was taken care of so after all that, the reader decides to take care of Dan, sexually or a massage.... or both

Warnings: none fluff

“Hello little ms. Astrid.” Dan cooed.

I watched as Dan came into the house and stopped to pick up the baby from her high chair. He hugged her close and kissed her head before walking into the bedroom.

“Hey!” I called jokingly. “I know you’re a ladies man Dan but that should not extend to your daughter!” Dan chuckled as I entered the room.

“I have two hours before work.” He said as he rubbed Astrid’s back as she laid on his stomach. “Thought I’d spend some time with her since I haven’t been home much.”

“Well that’s a better image than I thought I was going to walk into.” I teased as Astrid lifted her head slightly to look at Dan, drawing his attention back to her.

“well hello there.” He said softly. “Have I been neglecting you my dear?” Astrid babbled and Dan nodded, raising his eyebrows at her. “Well I’m very sorry I did darling.” He hugged her tight again before kissing her head. “Hopefully it will end soon.” He sighed as he let his head fall back against the pillows. “God I hope it ends soon.”

“Harry’s doing all he can.” I assured him as I climbed on the bed to lay down next to him. “Hello my sweet girl. Christine called earlier and asked how we were doing. Did Harry go in to the restaurant last night?” Dan nodded as I rubbed Astrid’s back. “Figured as much.” I sighed. Astrid reached for dans fingers as he freed one hand to brush a strand of hair off my face.

“I had to wait on him too.” Dan mentioned as he let her grab onto his fingers. She brought them close to her face and accidentally hit her nose with his pointer finger. “Boop.” Astrid started giggling like mad which made Dan smile and tap her nose again. “Boop.” I laughed quietly as Astrid made Dan do it again. Dan changed his voice each time, determined to keep her laughing. The weight and worry of his impending disbarment seemingly lifting at the sound. The line between his eyebrows disappeared and he actually smiled, making me watch him and commit every moment to memory. When Astrid grew bored of his fingers, she let go of them. She yawned and he brushed her hair back. “I’m sorry ma’am. Did I tire you out?” Astrid yawned again while Dan nodded. “I see. Well I’m sorry mom amour.” He kissed her head as he got up. I stood up with him but Dan put up his hand. “I’ve got it.” He kissed me briefly before heading to the nursery.

I laid back down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling. I could hear Dan softly singing to Astrid, trying to get her to bed before she started crying out of tiredness. I smiled to myself, closing my eyes and enjoying the sound. Dan would never admit it, and he wouldn’t listen to me if I told him, but he sang fairly well. Even if he wasn’t the best, I enjoyed it and wanted to hear him sing at every possible chance. There was quiet again and I opened my eyes. Dan chuckled as he came back into the room.

“what were you singing to her?” I asked. Dan scoffed as he laid down next to me, holding his arm open for me. I moved over and laid my head on his chest.

“some song my mom used to sing to me when I couldn’t sleep.” He murmured. I nodded and squeezed his shoulder. “I can’t wait until the decision is made. I hate going to the courthouse, to the restaurant, sleeping for a couple hours, back to the restaurant, then back to the courthouse.” I looked up at him and watched as he squeezed his eyes shut. “Is it so bad I don’t care if I get disbarred just so I can have more time with you and her?” I shook my head.

“no.” I said softly. Dan scoffed. “It isn’t. Honestly. We want more time with you too. Especially Astrid.” Dan tilted his head down to look at me. “She misses her daddy.” Dan sighed.

“I bet.” His voice cracked slightly as he looked up at the ceiling again. The alarm clock went off and Dan sighed. “Time to go back to work.” He grumbled as he let me up before standing himself. He grabbed his uniform and went to change.

“it’ll be over soon.” I tried to assure him as he stepped out. I reached up and did his bowtie as he finished buttoning his shirt. Tucking it in, he shrugged on the vest. “I love you Dan.” I cupped his cheeks and kissed him. Dan squeezed my hips before pulling away from me. “Astrid loves you too.” He nodded, looking away quickly but I bit my lip as I saw the tears in his eyes.

“I love you both. So much.” He kissed me again before leaving. I wiped my own tears away and making my way to the phone.

“Christine?” I said when she answered the phone.

“(Y/N)?” Christine said. “How you holding up?” I took a shaky breath.

“better than Dan.” I forced out. “How much longer is this going to take Christine? He can’t keep doing this! It’s running him into the ground!” She sighed.

“Harry’s talking to the judge right now.” She said. “I’ll have to go testify soon. It looks good. Another day or two tops.” I took another shaky breath and tried to keep my voice down and calm to not wake Astrid up.

“I don’t know if Dan has another day or two in him Christine.” I confided in her. “He doesn’t want to admit it but this is killing him. He has no time for us and while I get what he’s doing, why he’s doing it, Dan needs to be a lawyer. Being a waiter, serving all those…” I trailed off, the habit of not swearing in front of Astrid coming through. “Dan is going to either get fired or he’s going to do something he regrets.”

“he’s not going to…” Christine trailed off.

“he won’t go that far. He’s too attached to Astrid and me.” I let out a humorless laugh. “But he may smack someone he shouldn’t or put soup on their lap.” Christine laughed but covered it up with a cough. “It’s…Astrid needs her dad.” I said quietly.

“I’ll see what I can do. He’s a good man (Y/N). Hell get his job back soon.” Christine hung up and I bit back a sob as I leaned against the wall. Collecting myself, I set about getting dinner ready for when Dan came back home. Astrid cried out when she woke up and I went to pick her up.

“why hello baby girl.” I cooed. She babbled and looked around, making grabby hands at the air. “I know. I know. Daddy’s at work right now. But he’ll be back soon.” I looked at the clock and smiled. “He should be leaving work now which means in about ten minutes daddy will walk through that door and we’ll get him all to ourselves.” I set her in her playpen and went to finish up dinner.

“honey! Im home!” Dan called as he opened the door. I chuckled and walked out of the kitchen to see him looking into the playpen at Astrid. “Astrid Marie fielding! Where did you get that?” I joined him and had to cover my mouth before I started laughing at Astrid chewing on one of dans ties. She stilled and looked from the tie to Dan. He bent down to pick her up and kissed her head. “It’s alright. Enjoy it. I never liked it much anyway.” Turning his head, Dan gave me a kiss. “Any news?” The phone rang and we both turned to look at it.

“maybe you should get it.” I said as I held my arms out for Astrid. He nodded before passing her over to me. He answered the phone and i sat on the couch, bouncing Astrid on my knee while making funny faces to get her to laugh.

“YES!” Dan cried and I got up to see what was wrong. He hung up the phone and reached for Astrid, kissing her before putting her in her high chair. Turning towards me, Dan picked me up and spun me around before kissing me passionately. “I’m not disbarred! I can go back in a week.” He said happily as he rested his forehead against mine. “Harry’s giving me the week off to rest and relax.” He kissed me again before turning back to the phone. I watched him as he called the restaurant and quit. Turning back to me, Dan kissed me again. “Everything is going to be ok.”
